One-Pot Tandem Ring-Opening and Ring-Closing Metathesis Polymerization of Disubstituted Cyclopentenes Featuring a Terminal Alkyne Functionality

Tandem metathesis polymerization of terminal alkynes with a small functional ring-size cycloalkene remains a challenge. A series of 1-propargyl-1′-carboxylate ester monomers M1–M4 derived from 3-cy...
